About Book

A collection of one hundred poems (most of them previously published) including the evocatively titled ‘A Man's (Respectful) Prayer', ‘Silent Witnesses', ‘Enduring Lovers', ‘Lights of Innocence' and ‘Joie de Vivre'. Poems that speak of life, love and times gone by.

Being Mr. Ferreira a Brazilian poet who writes in English rather than Portuguese, a novelty in our literary scenery, we think his first poetry collection can open at least a different and unusual window to our readers.
